I recommend this posting ( http://mondoweiss.net/2010/01/the-reluctant-radical.html ) for inside analysis. Some of the comments, as well as the main article, are quite insightful and mostly civilized. The demonstrations in Egypt, Gaza, Israel, Boston and around the world have started to make a dent in the resistant patina of the mainstream media.

No word from Margaret yet. Margaret, if you're reading this, we'd love to hear from you!
